Frases de Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope fue uno de los novelistas ingleses más exitosos, prolíficos y respetados de la época victoriana. Algunas de las obras más apreciadas de Trollope, conocidas en conjunto como las Crónicas de Barsetshire o Las novelas de Barchester, giran en torno al condado imaginario de Barsetshire, pero también escribió penetrantes novelas sobre temas y conflictos políticos, sociales y sexuales de su época.

Trollope ha sido siempre un novelista popular. Han sido aficionados a sus novelas sir Alec Guinness , el ex primer ministro británico sir John Major, el economista John Kenneth Galbraith, la popular escritora estadounidense de misterio Sue Grafton y el guionista y dramaturgo Harding Lemay. La reputación literaria de Trollope decayó un tanto durante sus últimos años de vida, pero a partir de mediados del siglo XX recuperó el favor de la crítica. Sir Ifor Evans señala que, durante los bombardeos sobre Inglaterra en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, las novelas de Trollope eran la lectura favorita de un gran número de personas.[1]​ Wikipedia
